In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

The five members of the Spirit Hall Academy, led by Yan, were also unaffected by the three negative status effects because they used the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique together with Yao Mei. However, since they were standing behind Yao Mei and needed to maintain the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, they could not directly engage in combat.

Surrounded by the red mist, Lan Ji felt no panic. At this moment, he was experiencing his new abilities. He discovered that his Azure Lotus Domain seemed to have skipped the second stage and completed its third evolution.

The First Cause of All Realms

Azure Lotus Domain:

Its initial stage is called "Mirror Flower Water Moon," which can transform into any life form that has been stained with the blood of the Azure Lotus Martial Soul, and can even imitate its aura.

Passive ability - Allows you to use the first four spirit ring skills without using spirit rings.

The second phase is currently unavailable because it was skipped.

The skill, Nightmare Devouring Heart, causes countless giant blue lotuses to emerge from the ground, engulfing enemies. It can instantly extract soul power of the same level from enemies to replenish itself. In other words, the more enemies there are, the more soul power he has in reserve, becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents.

Passive ability - Allows you to use the first five spirit ring skills without using spirit rings.

The third stage is the reflection of the moon in space.

The first seven spirit ring skills can be used without using spirit rings.

Suppresses the opponent's all attributes by 10%, and increases the all attributes of one's own by 10%.

It comes with a teleportation soul skill, but the teleportation can only be used when the Martial Soul True Body is in its active state.

In the Spirit Fusion Skill state, defense is increased by 100% of the current Soul Saint strength state, strength is increased by 100% of the current Soul Saint strength state, and the ice-blue armor reduces the damage taken by the main body by 50%.

Having grasped his current abilities, Lan Ji raised his hand, and a thunderous roar erupted as he released the Azure Lotus Domain. Ice-blue light quietly spread from his body, transforming into colorless light that merged with the red mist. At the same time, Ye Lengleng in the sky seemed to receive some kind of signal, releasing the healing light unique to the Sacred Heart Begonia, which, mixed with the Sacred Heart Domain, enveloped the entire area.

In an instant, Lan Ji's strength increased by 10% after his own attributes were boosted by 10%.

The Spirit Hall Academy's forces were weakened by 10% after reducing all their attributes by 10%.

With this shift in power, the advantage of the alluring red mist control skill vanished instantly.

Originally, Lan Ji could have directly used his external soul bone to negate the bewitching red mist control skill like Tang San in the original story. However, the external soul bone is related to many of his future plans, and he still needs to plan many things. At this time, there are many people around, and it is not advisable for outsiders to know about it, especially not Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Ning Rongrong.

Besides this, he had another purpose: to use his self-fusion martial soul technique as a cover to conceal Ye Lengleng's Sacred Heart Begonia ability. Ning Fengzhi was right there, and if he found out, it would inevitably be detrimental to Ye Lengleng and even the Nine Heart Begonia family. This was something he also needed to consider.

With everything prepared, under the combined effect of the Azure Fiery Eyes and the Blue Thunder Eyes, the Spirit Hall Academy members on the opposite side had nowhere to hide in the red mist. A powerful teleportation skill was unleashed, and Lan Ji's figure transformed into a series of afterimages, bypassing the demon and attacking the five members of the Flame Group behind him.

Just as the powerful Haotian Bamboo Shoot was about to land on Yan's chest, the enchanting woman beside him moved. She wielded two huge moon blades and stepped in front of Yan to block him, even though her strength had been reduced by nearly 30% by the Azure Lotus Domain and the Sacred Heart Domain.

Chapter 351 The Asura God Finally Gave Up

—Updated before 8:20—

The fourth and sixth layers of the Seven Treasures True Body emitted a dazzling light.

Under the effects of Ning Fengzhi's fourth soul skill, Amplifying Light, and sixth soul skill, Healing Light, Lan Ji's weakness due to excessive soul power depletion gradually disappeared, though his steps remained somewhat unsteady. On the Spirit Hall Academy's side, aside from Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who were struck by Lan Ji's Clear Sky Bamboo Shoot Nine-Nine Return to One technique, the other four Spirit Hall Academy members, nicknamed "Little Cat," were not attacked with full force; they were merely knocked unconscious. Their weakness was primarily due to the significant consumption of soul power caused by using the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. They quickly regained consciousness.

Only the three people below the arena, who were struck by the kitten's ghostly claws, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena on the stage, remained unconscious due to their severe injuries.

Lan Ji glanced at the three of them and said to Ye Leng Leng, who was standing to the side, "Leng Leng, treat them."

Ye Lengleng nodded slightly, and four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—sparkled out. A healing light, even more powerful than Ning Fengzhi's, suddenly appeared. Under the healing of Ye Lengleng and Ning Fengzhi, the three members of the Golden Generation quickly awoke.

Looking at Lan Ji and the other two standing on the arena, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy had complicated expressions. Xie Yue and Hu Liena were somewhat better off; although they were very unwilling to lose, at least they lost after giving it their all. The five members led by Yan, however, were in a much worse state, practically spitting blood with frustration.

If they had lost to the most powerful Lan Ji, that would have been one thing, but instead, they were defeated by the little cat, whom they hadn't even considered important before the match, because they had exhausted their soul power using the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. At this moment, they felt like they wanted to die.

"Congratulations on your final victory." Pope Bibi Dong's voice rang out. Without the frustration of the Spirit Hall Academy losing to Shrek Academy in the original story, her voice was calm, even gentle, as if... it wasn't her own spirit master team that had lost. Her noble face remained as composed as ever.

Supported by the kitten and Ye Lengleng, Lan Ji slowly walked off the arena. The four lackeys, drained of their soul power by Lan Ji, had long since left the stage to recover. Now, under Sun Buyu's command, they lined up. Seeing Lan Ji arrive, and recalling how he had almost drained them dry, they all lowered their heads, too ashamed to look him in the eye.

On the other side, the seven students from the Spirit Hall Academy also lined up neatly. As losers, their faces all showed a degree of undisguised disappointment.

Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and the three Title Douluos all stood up and calmly announced: "The final champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Lan Ji, Ye Lengleng, and Zhu Zhuqing, congratulations."

As she spoke, she took the brocade tray from a cardinal of the Spirit Hall. Her beautiful eyes never once glanced at the three soul bones; she simply looked at Lan Ji quietly.

At this moment, the referee, who was also a cardinal, shouted: "Please invite the representative of the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to come up to the stage to receive the championship reward."

Ye Lengleng and the kitten simultaneously turned their gazes to Lan Ji and said in unison, "A Ji, you go."

Lan Ji nodded slightly, met the eager gazes of the two beauties, took a deep breath, and strode confidently toward the direction where Pope Bibi Dong was.

Upon seeing Bibi Dong up close again, Bibi Dong was still stunningly beautiful, noble, elegant, and serene—all sorts of wonderful words seemed to be able to describe this near-perfect woman.

Bibi Dong gazed at Lan Ji before her, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears. Suppressing the urge to weep, she forced a smile and said, "You are outstanding, even more outstanding than I imagined. After the Soul Master Competition, what are your plans? Do you want to stay at the Spirit Hall? I can prepare the best training ground for you. I will also help you overcome the difficulty of the backlash from your twin spirits."

Meeting Bibi Dong's gaze, a sense of desolation welled up within Lan Ji. In Bibi Dong's eyes, he saw a hint of joy at something lost and found, mixed with a faint sadness. This made him feel uneasy. Recalling Bibi Dong's recent words and actions, he wanted to ask her, "Have you been to Blue Star? Have we met somewhere before?"

But he quickly dismissed the idea. His identity as a time traveler was his biggest secret, and it had to be kept hidden. If he made a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He immediately looked away from Bibi Dong, shook his head, and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I already have my own cultivation plan."

To outsiders, Lan Ji had clearly rejected the Pope's invitation once again. In an instant, all seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy, except for Hu Liena, the only one who knew the truth, glared angrily at Lan Ji.

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, was overjoyed. This was exactly the result he had wanted.

As for Ning Rongrong, ever since Lan Ji unleashed his self-fusion martial soul technique, she had been watching him with a complex gaze, repeatedly hesitant to speak. She knew this was the Spirit Hall, not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even her own father didn't have much say. At this moment, she had absolutely no room to speak.

There was no anger in Bibi Dong's eyes, only a hint of regret and worry. She sighed softly, "Is that so? Then I wish you a bright future. This is the reward you deserve. As for the last 100,000-year soul bone, someone will take you to the Douluo Hall later, where the Douluo Hall Master will personally present it to you."

As she spoke, she handed the brocade plate to Lan Ji.

A bright future awaits?

As another familiar Blue Star term entered his ears, Lan Ji's heart trembled violently. Suppressing the urge within him, he reached out and took the item, bowing respectfully. Amidst the countless greedy gazes directed at him from all around, he uttered a startling statement: "I don't need that 100,000-year-old soul bone. Consider it my gratitude for His Holiness the Pope saving my life a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Except for a few who knew the truth, disbelief flashed in their eyes, and their faces all showed a look of shock as if they had eaten shit. They hadn't heard wrong, had they? Lan Ji actually didn't want the 100,000-year soul bone. This was a 100,000-year soul bone... and he didn't want it just because of the Pope's unintentional intervention.

That's too generous, too wasteful, too foolish.

This was the most direct thought in the minds of everyone present at this moment, except for Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Ye Lengleng, Little Cat, Chrysanthemum Pass, and Ghost.

Lan Ji ignored the shocked expressions of the crowd, only glancing deeply at Bibi Dong once more before turning around and naturally walking to the kitten and Ye Lengleng. After a moment's thought, he picked up the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull and handed it to the kitten, saying, "Zhu Qing, you are an agility-type Soul Master. The Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone is not suitable for you, and the Swift Wind Chasing Left Leg Bone, although compatible with you, is too young. As for the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, it is suitable for all Battle Soul Masters, and its age is barely acceptable. You should absorb it."

Lan Ji ignored the astonished expressions of the crowd, only glancing deeply at Bibi Dong once more before turning and casually walking to the kitten and Ye Lengleng.
